Holiday Lights, a Holidays Evening Experience

An Evening of Glowing Wonder

November 22, 2025—January 11, 2026 | 4–9pm

Make the season unforgettable with your signature night out. Filoli transforms 16 acres of formal gardens into an immersive Night Garden—a dazzling landscape of twinkling lights, shimmering reflections, and radiant color. Stroll beneath illuminated trees, step into a magical tunnel of lights, and explore gardens that glow with festive brilliance.

End the evening fireside with mulled wine, handcrafted cocktails, and seasonal treats, as music and holiday cheer fill the crisp night air. From romantic walks to joyful gatherings, Holiday Lights at Filoli is where winter nights truly shine.
